Sick baby

Sterling is sick again, but not the fun kind of sick.  She has been vomiting really bad all afternoon.  It started around 115 after she woke up from her nap.  It was a lot.  All over my legs, her and a huge puddle on the floor.  I thought it was a one time event...nope...totally wrong!  It's been an all day event.  We went through 6 outfits in 5 hours.  We spent an hour in the ER.  I was concerned because she wouldn't keep her 2 pm feeding down and I didn't know what to do.  Xander never got sick like this.  Again...he was my easy baby...lol!  I was scared she was going to starve and get dehydrated.  Much to my surprise, giving her a teaspoon of pedialyte every 15-20 minutes when she's awake will be fine for her.  She threw up sitting in the exam room and again in her car seat...nasty!!!  She's thrown up a total of 9 times in 5 hours.  They are not small throw ups either.  Poor baby is hurting when she's doing it too.  I'm not expecting her to sleep too well tonight.  Although, i'd love to get a full nights sleep because i have a 10 page paper to write this weekend...NOT FUN!  Not good timing to get sick kiddo...but is there ever a good time?  ha!  You can't predict this sort of stuff. 
So, here's a lovely after picture when I moved her to the kitchen off the hard wood floors.  I quickly cleaned up the mess on the hardwoods so it wouldn't seep in between the cracks.  Moved her to the kitchen and then stripped her down and swiffered the walk.  The things you do for your kids :)
 
 
Love ya baby girl...hope you get feeling better soon!!!!
